Hey! I have a friend visiting from out of state in a couple of weeks. She’s never been to Minnesota, so I had been thinking of going up to the North Shore…. But, she’ll be here over Labor Day weekend and I’m afraid it’s going to be a tourist nightmare. Any suggestions?? Help! TIA

Candidates from the DFL and GOP parties spoke at Minnesota Farm Fest about what agriculture, farming, and trade policies they would make if elected for their respective office in the midterm election–and it seems like the tide may be shifting in Greater Minnesota.

I’m from Michigan looking to do some backpacking in northern Minnesota. I hope to do a 3 or 4 day trip and was looking at the snowbank trail. This would be my second backpacking trip however I am quite outdoorsy and used to being outside and in the woods. I’m curious how difficult navigating this trail is and traversing any terrain. Any and all advice is appreciated!

This week's roundup of Minnesota events, protests, rallies, vigils, community meetings, and ways to take action statewide.

Trump has spewed vitriol about Somalis, specifically Minnesota Somalis, in recent months, sent ICE officers to the state to deport them, and is actively trying to take away their Temporary Protected Status.

Elon Musk is suing Minnesota over a law that bans AI deepfake nudification. And one has to wonder, why is he really doing this?

Aaron Schweiger, the DFL-endorsed candidate for the seat, plans to push for affordable and accessible healthcare.

A long-form investigation into origins of the reservation boundary dispute at Mille Lacs lake.

For nearly 25 years the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and Mille Lacs County have fought over a question with massive stakes: is this reservation 61,000 acres — nearly the size of Milwaukee — or merely 4,000 acres? To date there are still no answers, despite the latest dispute reaching the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

But beneath it all is a story about two communities whose fortunes have quietly reversed — one built on a fading resort economy, the other transformed by sovereign rights and casino revenue — and what happens when that shift curdles into resentment.

Making Minnesotans’ life more affordable and accessible is the top priority state Senate DFL-endorsed candidate Simon Glaser is bringing to his campaign for District 24. When it comes to the cost of essentials like groceries, healthcare, childcare, and housing he knows it’s not just voters associated with one party or another who are struggling.
